The First Siza takes Pritzker Prize winning Portuguese architect Alvaro Siza back more than 60 years to the very first house he designed, while still a student. Now an internationally celebrated architect, Siza returns to the house and tours it with his original clients and their family, who have lovingly lived there for three generations. This remarkable encounter connects the young architect he once was with the master he became, offering an intimate and moving reflection on architecture, memory, family, and the enduring life of a building.
